What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Tailgate auto lock installed finally.

 

Gas in the nearest Idaho town is $3.99 a gallon and $4.69 in Washington.

I filled up on the reservation yesterday from half tank and it was $60. Gas was "only" $3.90 a gallon.

 

Received it yesterday and installed this morning. So far works great. Old switch and New. Not a bad investment for $85.

 

Supposedly they have addressed all the issues with these.
Keep us posted if you have any issues.

 

Anyone know the stock tire size for 2018 Platinum? Looking for stock diameter so I have a baseline dimension for my speedo calibrator. I had Michelin’s and were 20” wheels is all I remember

 

Pretty sure most of the models were 31.5” OD stock. If you put your VIN into the Toyota app it should tell you the stock options your truck was built with, though

 

Thanks but my wife just came out to the garage with the window sticker from when we bought it. She rocks!!

P275/55R20 was the answer

 

Will do. Now I just wish I would've noticed that they sell a kit for all 4 doors. Have a great Sunday all.

 

This weekend I installed the Air Lift WirelessONE compressor for the air bags. It's nice to just push a button

 

It's on my list...eventually.

 

Ok installed the washer tank relocation and the stillen tube. Some may recall the prospeed box was always at least 60+ above ambient. After sealing it off I was locked at 30 above ambient.

Now with the stillen pipe 10-15 above ambient. In traffic less heatsoak and within 4 blocks down to 10-15 above ambient. Pretty happy with that. Did a few pulls and temp didn’t move while on the freeway. Boost held solid at 8.2 lbs. Note that this won’t work with the radium catch can single mount so need to move to the double mount.

 

Door sticker should also have the OE tire spec

 

Got some new shoes, finally the crappy OE Bridgestones outer treadblocks wore down to slicks and impulse purchased some 275/60r20 KO2's. Was a tossup between these and the 285/60r20 Falken Wildpeaks but they were concerned about them fitting. To Discount Tires credit they were willing to test fit them for me but after some quick deliberation figured the slightly smaller size, cost savings, and weight savings of the BFGs would be better. They are D rated too so I figured they'd ride a bit better than the Falkens which were E rated.

So far I like them, truck feels more planted in turns and no longer feels like a boat, I now understand why the outer treadblocks wore so quickly on the stock tires. Only problem is a vibration at interstate speeds 70+. Going to get an alignment tomorrow and see if that helps at all and if not, back to DT for a rebalance.

 

BFG's are notorious for balancing issues.

 

Method 705 wrapped with 37x12.5 r17 bfg ko2 tires. Such a smoother ride than the MT they replaced.

 

So I've read. Seems to be a 50/50 shot but it's only been a few days, if after an alignment and rebalance the problem persists then I might be using DT's stellar customer service to switch these out for the Falkens or might go an entirely different direction. Not seen too much on here about the Nokian Outposts, seem very similar in design to the Falkens, and the weight and cost of them is very tempting however there seems to be some conflicting information on if their posted weight is legit.

 

One of the last checks off the list, 3 years later. 35% tint up front. My eyes already thank me...

 

Yeah I see the same thing with mine. I just got 295/70/18 Ridge Grapplers yesterday. The Nitto site and a couple others say that they are 70 lbs. Alot of other sites say that they are 63 lbs.

 

Looks awesome! I too miss the smooth ride of the all terrains.

 

Thank you, and yes, as much as I loved the off-road performance, I definitely miss the smooth ride much more, especially now I can talk to my family sitting behind me lol

 

Flying debris on the highway. A-Pillar damage.

 

NO!!

 

Finally got some tint!
Crystalline CR40 fronts, CR20 rears


CR70 windshield

 

DIY tire rotation with off road jack (gravel driveway), double pin jack stands, full sized spare tire swap (5 tire rotation).

16y old did 90% off it. In and out, with a few hiccups, 40min.

Oil change will be our fall project as we want to start doing those ourselves too.



Loosening lugs before lifting:

 

Bummer

 

Be thankful it didn't hit the windshield and everyone is ok ! Def sucks though ! What was it ?

 

What a perfect excuse the Universe sent you to now have A-Pillar Lights! Then you get instant street-cred!

 

That f'kn sucks

No likes given on that post!

 

I think one of your neighbors was trying to be funny and stuck a Canadian flag on your truck....

We should deploy @Outbound to investigate!!!
